NEED BEES? WE HAVE BEES!
NOTICE! UPDATE ON PICKUP OF BEES- May 5
Nuc pickup times and dates are being influenced by the problems associated with the current pandemic, as well as the recent downturn in the weather here. Our ability to inspect, mark queens, and insure that your nucleus colony is what it should be before you pick it up is being affected .
Accordingly, I must suspend all previous lists and correspondence regarding pickup times.
As the weather allows me to inspect your nuc, and mark the queen, and insure the quality, I will call or email each of you with a time to pickup. If there is a conflict, please call, and we will work together to get you your bees.
I would anticipate that after next week, it might get warmer?
Remember- the nucleus colony only needs a few good days to crank up brood production. There is still plenty of time to have a good season.
The bees were received 10 days late and the weather has been rain and wind since. I would roughly figure pickup dates to be rough
Bees are here and we are processing them as the weather permits. Opening nucs in windy, cold conditions sets the bees back and kills brood. We are working the order list according to when pmt received.
Bees were received ten days late and we had nothing but rain and excessive wind since, but they are being processed as conditions permit.
If we have a warmup, less rain, and less wind, we will be calling for pickup apt according to paid order list.
Weather is getting a little better and pickup is progressing according to order payment received.
